Traceability systems are key to assuring food safety, creating a benefit for supply chain components. Currently, the appearance of new technologies such as IoT and Big Data Analysis leads generation more functional, but complex, traceability systems. Organisational models based on cooperation multiple small/medium size agents, example small/family farming cooperatives, play an important role in high standard agricultural production commercialization processes. These function both social...

There is both circumstantial and direct evidence which demonstrates the significant productivity sustainability benefits associated with adoption of controlled traffic farming (CTF). These may be fully realised when CTF jointly practiced no-tillage assisted by range precision agriculture (PA) technologies available. Important contributing factors are those improved trafficability timeliness field operations. Adoption therefore encouraged as a technically economically viable option to improve...

In aquaculture, accurate and automatic quantification of fish behaviour can provide useful data input for production management decision-making. recent years, with the focus on welfare, it has become urgent to study use nondestructive quantitative methods in aquaculture. this paper, based literature past 30 nonintrusive are analysed. Firstly, several important behaviours aquaculture listed, is summarized four stages: detection, tracking, feature extraction recognition. Then, quantification,...

The real-time classification of fish feeding behavior plays a crucial role in aquaculture, which is closely related to cost and environmental preservation. In this paper, Fish Feeding Intensity model based on the improved Vision Transformer (CFFI-Vit) proposed, capable quantifying behaviors rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) into three intensities: strong, moderate, weak. process outlined as follows: firstly, we obtained 2685 raw images from recorded videos classified them categories:...

Real-time estimation of fish biomass plays a crucial role in real-world fishery production, as it helps formulate feeding strategies and other management decisions. In this paper, dense counting network called Swin-CSRNet is proposed. Specifically, the VGG16 layer front-end replaced with Swin transformer to extract image features more efficiently. Additionally, squeeze-and-excitation (SE) module introduced enhance feature representation by dynamically adjusting importance each channel...

Abstract Previous studies have defined compaction as an important degradation process of agricultural soils. However, there is very little information (under field conditions) on the effects tractor and grain chaser traffic during harvest operations soil cropped for 15 years under no‐till cultivation methods. The aim this study was to quantify two different total loads physical properties sunflower ( Helianthus annuus L.) yields. treatments included a control plot with no or (T1), load 275.8...

To realize automatic counting of urediospores Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici (Pst) (causal agent wheat stripe rust), an system for rust pathogen based on image processing was developed using MATLAB GUIDE platform in combination with Local C Compiler (LCC). The is independent the environment and can be run a computer without software. Using this system, Pst microscopic implemented via technologies including scaling, clustering segmentation, morphological modification, watershed...

Deep tillage is often performed to alleviate traffic-induced subsoil compaction, but how long do the benefits of this technique last for in intensively-managed arable soils?Heavy traffic on loose soil significantly increases risk re-compaction at depth.Chiselling and subsoiling are techniques commonly used Argentina remediate soil/subsoil compaction.Controlled farming (CTF) through exclusion heavy vehicles from field axle load reduction (e.g., ≤ 6 Mg per axle) a strategy occasionally...

Cadmium (Cd) and lead (Pb) in soil or water environment cause the ecological destruction environmental deterioration when their contents exceed natural background values. To trace concentrations of Cd(II) Pb(II), a sensitive selective electrode was developed using disposable screen-printed carbon (SPE) immobilized with composite film reduced graphene oxide/carboxylation multi-walled nanotubes/gold nanoparticle hybrid (RGO-MWNT-AuNP) through π-π bind. This highly conductive nano-composite...

Selecting the appropriate tyre configuration and settings for heavy farm vehicles is important to ensure that soil compaction power loss in rolling resistance are minimised traction optimised. This study investigated effect of front-wheel assist (FWA, ≈75 kN) four-wheel drive (4 WD, ≈100 tractors fitted with different configurations (single, dual), sizes inflation pressures on strength (a proxy compaction), resistance. Single-pass tests were performed a Typic Argiudoll (≈23% clay, bulk...

A new generation of Agricultural Information Systems is arriving, increasing the integration in Internet, as it supposes use Internet Things (IoT) technology with agricultural products. Actual ICT systems must evolve to this systems, work presented how we can integrate data actual and pass them an IoT platform, our case FIWARE. We develop a model that generalize information (everyone would be subset proposed model) lets us transfer platform cloud.

No-tillage farming can improve crop productivity and the reliability of cropping compared with conventional tillage. The effects three different seeding system configurations on surface residue handling, sunflower emergence stand establishment, yield, gross income were investigated over seasons. comprised (1) turbo coulter blade, (2) notched disc row cleaner before (3) no handling unit installed in front a double-disc opener. For all configurations, cover sown rows (after seeding) was...

Crop model is designed to dynamically and accurately simulate the growth process of crops, acestablish a simpler more accurate model.In this study, tulip observation data was collected from experiments with six popular cultivars (EB), Middle blossoming (MB), Late (LB) Very late (VB).Multi-sowing period treatment were carried out in two growing seasons.The for main organs morphology study constructed by new method named standardized degree days (Stan GDD ).The results showed that 1) Flowering...

In order to detect coherent structures on satellite images, the authors used an extended set of segmentation algorithms. Applying this a group test collection segmented images was obtained, where different methods highlighted structures. Due diversity valid solutions, it necessary evaluate adequacy options for specific problems. The propose metrics that allows them classify via aggregation functions. They started working with but, actually, they are general (artificial when testing methods)....

The main objective of our work is detecting different sea structures south the Iberian Peninsula. Waters Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean Sea have temperatures, salinities levels. are complex reduced, presenting a great number eddies, filaments upwellings.
